An occupational is anything a person wants or needs to do in their daily life. For children their main occupations involve:

• Play

• School

• Self-care

• Leisure

• Social Participation

Occupational therapy can be helpful for a child who is having difficulty with any or all of the above occupations.

A licensed occupational therapist can look into the “why” behind the difficulty. For children, many of the underlying concerns include:

• fine motor skills

• gross motor skills

• balance/coordination

• motor planning

• sensory processing

• visual perceptual skills

• oculomotor skills

• postural strength

• executive functioning

• retained primitive reflexes

Occupational therapy is a whole body approach, meaning we look at the individuality of each child and the big picture of their lives. By treating children in their natural environment, we can allow for the more individualized, best quality care out there!
